Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Whittier, CA

I'm Olivia Hanley, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Ventura, California. I completed my MSW at USC and have spent the last four years doing this work because I believe people deserve real, substantive support — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

I specialize in maternal mental health (postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and the identity shift that comes with motherhood), anxiety and trauma in teens and adults, and play-based therapy for children and adolescents. I work with clients across California via telehealth and am in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health.

I tend to attract clients who are high-functioning but quietly struggling — moms who look like they have it together, teens who internalize everything, and adults who've been "fine" for a long time and are finally ready not to be. I'm direct, curious, and warm. I will challenge you — gently — when it's useful.

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.

I’m dedicated to helping clients create meaningful change through a collaborative, compassionate, and goal oriented approach. I specialize in crisis intervention and draw from proven, evidence-based therapies (EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, ERP) tailored to your unique needs. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I work to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, build on strengths, and move toward the life you want. I earned my Master’s in Educational & Clinical Counseling from Azusa Pacific University and have received specialized training in trauma focused care and crisis interventions. I’ve worked in community mental health settings, crisis intervention programs, and private practice; which has allowed me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

As a PMHNP-BC, I offer medication management and therapy sessions via Telehealth Mon-Fri 0900- 19:00.

Feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

I offer a compassionate, steady space where real healing can begin. Using a blend of Eye Movement, Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), we’ll uncover and gently process the life experiences and patterns that may be holding you back—so you can reconnect with your inner strength, clarity, and sense of self.

You deserve to feel supported, understood, and empowered in your healing. I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Appointments are available on Telehealth. For scheduling inquiries please text me directly at 310-746-7223.

Something about this moment — whether you're exhausted from anxiety that won't quit, burned out from giving everything to everyone else, or standing at a crossroads you didn't ask for — brought you here. I want you to know: reaching out is the hard part, and you've already done it. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions — including women managing the particular weight of new motherhood, shifting identity, or carrying experiences that haven't had room to breathe yet. My clinical background includes high-acuity settings, which means I've learned to show up calm and focused when things feel anything but. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Carelon, and several other major insurance plans, and I offer virtual sessions that fit around your real life. I'm not here to hand you a worksheet and call it a day. I'm here to actually help you move.

I believe that healing begins when you feel truly seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based therapy and mind–body awareness.

Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, or individuals navigating life transitions who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.

Together, we’ll explore not just what’s happening in your mind, but how your body and emotions respond — so you can reconnect with clarity, calm, and confidence.

I bring curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor to each session. My goal is to help you slow down, breathe, and find the insight and direction that’s already within you.

I’m a licensed therapist with a background in supporting adults and teens through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. I earned my graduate degree in counseling and have worked in both community-based and private practice settings, which has helped me understand the real-life pressures people carry—work, family, finances, identity, and burnout.

My style is practical and compassionate: we look at patterns, the stories you’ve learned to live by, and what it would feel like to respond differently—more grounded, more empowered, and more like “you.” I often integrate inner child work, trauma-informed care, and skills for emotional regulation and ADHD/executive functioning.

I primarily work with adults who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create more secure connection.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families, including those navigating trauma, anxiety, and complex family situations. My background includes work in hospital, school, and community mental health settings, as well as leadership in behavioral health programs. I specialize in helping families and individuals manage high-stress situations, life transitions, and decision-making when circumstances feel overwhelming. My approach is practical, compassionate, and focused on helping clients feel more confident, organized, and supported.
